5g of a sample of bleaching powder is treated with excess acetic acid and KI solution. The liberated `I_(2)` required 50 mL of `N/10` hypo. The % of available chlorine in the sample.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3.55
meq of bleaching powder = meq of `Cl_(2) = ` meq of hypo`W/35.5 xx 1000 = 50 xx 1/10`
`W_(Cl_(2))` = 0.1775 g
`% Cl_(2) = 0.1775 xx 100 = 3.55%`

A 7.1 g sample of bleaching powder suspended in H_(2)O was treated with enough acetic acid and KI solution. Iodine thus liberated required 80 mL of 0.2 N hypo solution for titration. Calcutale the % of available chlorine :

Bleaching power is a mixed salt of hydrochloric acid and hypochlorious acid. It has the formula, CaOCI_(2).H_(2)O . It is manuafactured by the action of chlorine on dry slaked lime at 40^(@)C . There is also a view that bleaching power is a mixture [Ca(OCI)_(2)+CaCI_(2).Ca(OH)_(2).H_(2)O] . The amount of chlorine obtained form a sample of bleching power by the treatement with excess of dilute acids or CO_(2) is called a available chlorine. A good sample of bleaching power constains 35-38% of available chlorine. On long standing, it undergoes auto-oxidation and the amount of acvailable chlorine decreases. The estimation of available chlorine is done volumetrically by (a) iodometric method or by (b) aresenite method. In textile industry, the cotton cloth is mainly bleached with the help of bleaching power. 3.55 g of bleachig power when treated with acetic acid and excess of KI liberated iodine which required 60 mL of 0.5 N sodium thiosulphate solution.
